Glasgow is one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan destinations in Europe. The city has been reborn as a centre of style and vitality set against a backdrop of outstanding Victorian architecture. Glasgow boasts world famous art collections, the best shopping in the United Kingdom outside London, and the most vibrant and exciting nightlife in Scotland. A must see is the splendour of Scotland's best known architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose style adorns many unique attractions throughout Scotland's largest and greatest city.
Art and culture are important in Glasgow life where galleries and museums are in abundance - most with free admission. A choice of over 20 includes the world's first Museum of Religion and the renowned Burrell Collection in Pollok Park. No visit would be complete without experiencing the city's shopping with high street stores, designer labels, and speciality outlets to explore, with welcome pit-stops in the first class cafe culture around the Italian Centre, Merchant Square, Gallery of Modern Art or the Buchanan Galleries.
Day 1:
Our journey takes us via Carlisle to our hotel in Glasgow to check in before evening dinner.
Day 2:
After breakfast this morning, the day is FREE for you to explore Glasgow at your leisure. Argyle Street will be hosting the Christmas Market with over 40 stalls. With numerous traders from all over Europe, enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Yuletide while browsing for the more unusual Christmas presents. Glasgow has shopping and dining to rival London; the so-called ‘Golden Z’ formed by Buchanan, Sauchiehall and Argyle Streets is basically two-and-a-half miles of shops - and our Glasgow hotel puts you right in the middle of it. But if you''''re not into shopping there are enough things to do in Glasgow to fill half-a-dozen weekend breaks with numerous galleries, museums and other attractions. Returning to the hotel for evening dinner.

Following breakfast this morning we leave the hotel and return via Gretna. Departing after lunch for home.
